Congrats and Prayers...

OK - a few congrats and a prayer......

Congratulations to Kelly on Passing your Boards!!!!! Not that there was any doubt but that is SO awesome that you passed!!! I am so proud of you...now on to the big bucks!!! LOL


Congratulations to Lesley on your little miracle baby!!!! I can't tell you how happy I was to read about your little miracle! You better post some pics soon!!!

Please say a special prayer for Linda's cousin Patricia: she has been courageously battling leukemia for over three years now. By the grace of God a wonderful selfless young woman donated her bone marrow to Patricia and she had the transplant yesterday. This is her last chance at life. Please continue to pray for her and please say a prayer for the donor.


Thanks!

I know! I know! I know!

It has been FOREVER since I have last updated. I am sorry - I know Samantha has already yelled at me about it. So much is going on that nothing has changed!!!!

First off, here are some updated pictures and links to a few hundred more:

June 2008

OK - so the scoop:

Joey: Joey is officially a 2nd grader! He did really well on his last report card but that is because he is a genius like me! LOL. I keep saying that he needs to do some practicing writing/reading during the summer but I have a hard time sticking to it.

He starts swimming lessons in a few weeks so he is excited about that. Right now he is at Matthew's house swimming - tonight they are going to roast marshmellos (I don't think I spelled that right but no matter how much I type it - it doesn't look right - Sorry Ally).

He is basically just hanging out and enjoying the summer - oh yeah - the other day he called Nicky a little bastard - so I guess I am going to have to keep an eye out on the kid - it rolled off of his tongue so naturally - he probably has a trash mouth behind my back!

Nicky: Nicky is as sweet as ever. He is talking so much more and get this..he can spell his name (not write it but tell me the letters). Ok - I know - he just memorized what I said when I spell it for him on his magna doodle but give me my moment!

His favorite thing to say (usually when he is trying to get out of trouble) is "Hi Mama - what you doin?" He usually says that when after he climbs over the gate. He also has been doing this thing - he taps his cheek and says "Think, Think, Think" and then he raises his finger and says "Oh! I know!" Too cute - and it gets him out of anything!!!!

Jenny: Jenny is my little mother hen - she helps me with everything and she keeps the boys in line. She has been going on the potty and I got her little underwear. She ALWAYS wants to do "pee pee" so the fact that she goes is basically just the law of averages - if she is sitting on the potty for 3 hours a day she is bound to go at some point!

In general:

Basically everything is status quo. Working our butts off and taking care of the kids.

I have some congratulations to go out to Cyber land:

Congrats Russell and Margaret on the birth of their baby girl!

Congrats Ally and Dave on your miracle baby! I can't tell you how happy I am for you - I can't

Congrats to Jaime and "Mr. D." on the - any day now - arrival of your little girl. I am so happy for you!

and last but certainly not least...

Congrats to Terri and Dave on their marriage!

OK - there is my update!!!! Hopefully my next one won't be too long in the future!
